her Amurlcnn aumircrs. Despite the arduous
duties of ber profession and the physical ex
actions of travel Mademoiselle Hhea is ever
u most praclous nud pcnial hostess to n con
tinual stream of local frunds niul admirers.
Tor if she be winsome in holdlnp her mirror
up to nature on the stage , sbo is no less cap-
tivatitip in its rcltection in the parlor and

Mrs. John A. Lopnn i ono of Rhe.i's
oldest American friends nnrt recently pave a

nimble to attend , sen * , her reprets with a

It doubtful if tboro is another actress on
the Amerlcrn stage who dresses moro ox-
